Hello here is my new chapter, another cute one before the returns of the angst. I hope you will enjoy it. :)

Chapter 7

Another class was over and Alexander had decided that it was the day he would tell Hephaistion. Who he really was.

"Hephaistion, come with me. Aristotle asked me to do an inventory and said you are the best help I could find." Said Anaxagoras.

Hephaistion nodded happily. He didn't mind doing inventory, it was easy and logical. Alexander who heard the request wasn't all that happy though. He moved towards Anaxagoras with Hephaistion.

"I'm coming too." He said.

Hephaistion looked at him surprised. He knew from experience that Alexander hated inventory and was bored to death with it.

"You?" asked Hephaistion.

"Well, I am here to learn." He said with a hypocritical tone of voice.

Hephaistion frowned and looked at Anaxagoras who simply looked annoyed.

"I really require only one assistant."

"Fine, then I am going alone with you." Declared Alexander.

Hephaistion put his hands on his hips growing tired of Alexander's immature jealousy. He had noticed that he couldn't approach his new teacher without his lover hovering nearby.

"No." Said Anaxagoras "I asked Hephaistion. He is all that I require."

The two Alexander's were glaring at each other. Hephaistion rolled his eyes.

"Fine, I can do it alone. I'm used to doing it anyway it won't take that long!"

"No!" yelled the two Alexander at the same time.

"So?" he said. He knew Alexander could be stubborn. "What will it be?" Alexander?" Anaxagoras asked with a sigh. "Hephaistion?"

"Well, fine come with us Alexander." Anaxagoras finally said because he watched a wave of annoyance cross Hephaistion's face and he knew it was better to quit here before his Hephaistion began to lecture them.

An half hour had passed and Hephaistion who was serious as death couldn't concentrate with the two blonds who were constantly sighing, scratching their heads in annoyance and moving around too much in the small room.

"Could you both calm down! It's not that complicated and it's better if you stayed at the same place!" He finally scolded them.

They both looked at Hephaistion shamelessly in the same way. Hephaistion found it funny how much they acted alike. They could have been brothers or an uncle and nephew. He smiled tenderly and he continued his work.

Anaxagoras had to get his new inventory list which was near Hephaistion and as he came closer to him, in his hurry, he slipped on a piece of paper the young Alexander hadn't picked up when it had fallen from his pile of papers earlier. The older Alexander lost his balance and ended up grabbing Hephaistion's chiton hoping not to fall but instead he made Hephaistion fall with him. It happened so quickly they didn't have to realize their awkward position until Alexander rushed in outrage to separate them. Anaxagoras' head was under Hephaistion's chiton lying on his thighs.

Hephaistion blushed when he felt where his teacher's head was; while Alexander was in shock watching Anaxagoras who seemed to be enjoying the sight.

The older Alexander couldn't have wished for a better way to fall. After few awkward moments they continued their work without any of them speaking. The older Alexander wasn't working so much as he was daydreaming about the wonderful power of his lovers thighs and also how much he missed him. Some of those sad looks Hephaistion caught too as he looked at his teacher from time to time. On the other side of the room a very annoyed Alexander was only managing to scratch any paper he was dealing with because he was upset about the previous situation.

As they finished the older Alexander regretted that he couldn't have told Hephaistion who he was. He had hesitated telling them because telling his secret to yourself didn't seem the correct thing to do in his eyes.

Later in Hephaistion's room, Alexander cuddled in his lover's arms.

"I can't believe he had his face on...on…"

Hephaistion laughed.

"Are you jealous, Alexander?"

"Of course I am!" and he put his hand on Hephaistion's precious thighs. "They are 'my' thighs." He added.

"No, my love, mine first, yours second, he corrected. "It was an accident, Alexander."

"I know but still, there's something really annoying in this man! He is just, argh, I don't know, he likes you!"

"Aristotle likes me too."

"This is different, I feel it. The way he looked at you! Didn't you notice?"

"Maybe.» Said, Hephaistion.

"See!"

"But what can I say, I am so beautiful and I am sure I will grow even more handsome, you have to get used of people lusting for me."

Alexander looked outraged. "I can't believe you just said that! How modest you are!"

"Well, it's the truth, no?"

Alexander couldn't deny it to his lover.

"And so are you, Alexander, even if I outshine you!"

Alexander pushed Hephaistion in his back.

"Oh wanna wrestle my, Achilles?"

"I'm gonna beat you now!"

"You can always dream!"

Long moments later, Alexander begged to be released from Hephaistion's hold.

"See?" He gloated, shaking his head to get the hair from his eyes.

Alexander laid back on the bed.

" One day someone will tell about you, my Alexander, that the only time you were ever defeated was between my thighs."

"Uh? I'll beat you someday" said Alexander as he kissed him feverishly. Hephaistion broke suddenly from the kiss as he was reminded of his teacher's sad eyes. He didn't knew why but he felt pain for him.

"Did I kiss you wrong now?"

" You can do better." Hephaistion said with a boldly.

" Let me show you." said Alexander ravishing his lover's mouth again.
